what is the capacity for the 1+1+100 working solution? How many 4x5 sheets can be developed? is it one-shot or can you reuse? I can't find anything even with google. any links would be appreciated.

I'm using Efke PL25 @ ei 12. any suggestions/tips?

thank you!

According to Sandy King, who ought to know, "I am virtually certain that the formula of Tanol is either the same as that of Pyrocat-HD, or very close to it."

thank you. I can only assume that at those dilutions it is a one-shot developer.

If you use a 5x7 tray for 4x5 you need 250-300ml for one shot.

thank you Wolfgang. I'm using 4x5 hard rubber tanks with hangers so normally I use 2 liters of working solution for four sheets.

That´s more than enough, but it is not possible to change dilution. The minimum of concentrate per 4x5 film is 1+1ml (@100ml of water). 2 litres for 4 sheets is a waste, but not to avoid.
